ALINGHI

Not really on his first-up run, and he generally goes best fresh. He's had an interrupted campaign and also i dont think at he's best he could challenge Alinghi.

Current fixed odds
 

No. Horse Win

005 Alinghi $1.70
001 Fastnet Rock $2.70
003 Only Words $8.00
002 Shamekha $15.00
004 Our Quivira $17.00
006 Crimson Reign $34.00

The odds are probably right but if the rain comes,hmmmm
Only words first up run was a ripper.Last to fourth and it looked like the jockey was running it up everyones ******** on purpose,flew the last 75m

As the betting suggests FASTNET ROCK & ALINGHI do look a standout quinella. I'm going to put the current outsider of the field CRIMSON REIGN in for 3rd.
